Report – Microsoft testing Project S strategy game [UPDATE]

Update: Looks like it’s something to do with actual Spartans and not a Halo related game, according to this piece of art and further confirmation from Examiner.

Original: A survey sent out by Microsoft has the firm enlisting alpha testers for what it describes as a “groundbreaking,” “giant, revolutionary step for PC strategy games”.

Being called “Project S” at the moment, the game has been in testing for a few weeks, and some of the original players let slip the “S” in the title stands for Spartan – leading outsiders to believe it’s set in the Halo universe.

However, it could also have something to do with historical Spartans, instead of sci-fi soldiers running around shooting Covenant enemies. Considering it’s being rumored that Robot Entertainment is the developer behind Project S, either one is likely.
